In your group, you will have an opportunity to share your index, receive feedback on your product and do the same for someone else. Every effort will be made to match experience levels so that everyone benefits. Success will require that EVERYONE bring an index to share. Perhaps it should be one that you had problems with or perhaps one that you are most proud of or perhaps it's the last one you completed. If you are new to indexing, create a sample index from a book. If you absolutely cannot bring one you wrote, copy one that you admire. Bring THREE COPIES. 4:15-4:30 Thank yous and wrap up. 5:30---There will be an informal dinner for all interested indexers (family welcome if they are traveling with you).
